RNC Tweet About 'Freedom Of Speech' Does Not Go Well

Twitter users took the Republican National Committee  to task on Friday over a post about freedom of speech.

“Freedom of speech should not be a partisan issue,” the RNC declared. “Big Tech should be held accountable.”

Commenters interpreted the post as the RNC attacking the banning of ex-President Donald Trump from social media platforms following his incitement of the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

Facebook ’s Oversight Board, a company-appointed independent panel, on Wednesday upheld the network’s decision to ban Trump in the wake of the insurrection but said the website must review the decision within six months.
